Ok, I have a real old altec 4/12 cabinet...very well made out of a good grade plywood and 2×4 bracing. All the speakers ended up with tears in the baskets (they were like that when I aquired it) but I fixed them with fingernail polish and they sound really good. They are old and unlabeled. I'm assuming they are altecs and original to the cab but I dunno. I also assume the are 16 ohm but again I dunno.
How do you check a speakers ohms?
Also, what would you want the ohms to be for the total speaker load on a 4/12 cab...4 ohms or 8 ohms?
I'm thinking 4 ohms because I doubt I will ever hook two 4/12 cabs together but what do yall think?
